JCheckbox: add icon from jar not a directory to label?

Question

I know it's possible to use HTML but what if you are loading the icon image from a package instead of a directory?

How would you go about adding icon to a jcheckbox's label?

Answer 1

add Icon and String to the JLabel, then set JLabel#setLabelFor(myJCheckBox)

Answer 2

I show various ways in my answer to "Loading images from jars for Swing HTML". But using an explicit URL (obtained from Class.getResource(String)) should work just fine as the src attribute of the img element.
